The Letters I've Never Sent
Sometimes the words go from my head, through a
keyboard and into the digital world.
What is most important is that the words get out
and do their job. It may be thanks or encouragement or standing on the soapbox.
I love when something I write helps someone.
But there are a lot of letters I have never sent.
Therapy writing.
Many letters burning with anger have been written
with no intention of another human reading them. I have made convincing
arguments to people who I know would never listen. I have shared pain or
passion. And then in the trash they go.
Do you have letters that need to be written? Letters
that will let the depths of your heart and soul escape. Letters that are for
you and God alone. A letter that is bursting with anger, passion, pain, or even
joy.
Write it, read it, tear it up. Freedom.
